Chamber & Community Event Updates
The Greater Seminole Area Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to supporting our members’ success by encouraging our community and visitors to support local business. Our commitment continues, even as we face the unknown of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have recently reopened our doors, but because the Chamber, Visitors Center, and Lurie Civic Bldg. can often be a busy place with staff, visitors, members and residents, we want to take all precautions to keep everyone healthy. Staff has resumed normal business hours, however, we encourage all to continue doing business with us, remotely. If you need to come in, please wear a mask and do a self-check of your health in order to keep staff and other visitors safe.
Staff is available by phone and/or email at 727-392-3245 during normal business hours. If we do not answer, please leave a message and we will return your call.
The challenges we’re all facing right now are unprecedented. We wish our members and our visitors the best in riding out this pandemic. Working together, we’ll get through this.
We are continuing with events as normal, however, CDC guidelines will be followed.
